Korean Madness
fiLi has an excellent post with a collection of the top Asian videos on YouTube. Though most were worth watching (the 'crazyasianmother' was kinda stupid), this one is one I can watch again and again. The girls are just so animated, it's like watching a live action cartoon put to Korean pop and funny dancing.
We All Look The Same To Them
Considering "How To Spot A Jap" is my second most popular post with 1056 views as of this writing (snuggly between "Who Wants The Display Model" and "Chairman Mee-ow!"), it should come as no surprise to me that the whole nationality-blurring aspect goes both ways. I always thought it was an insult to Asian people …
Foreign Babes In Beijing
I just finished reading Rachel Dewoskin's Foreign Babes In Beijing, a memoir of the author's life in China's capital during the mid to late 90s. For any just coming to or arriving in China, the book is a great supplemental read to your standard collection of guidebooks; and for those of us that have been …
Full Disclosure
Hey folks, hope you don't mind, but I'm exploring new ways to monetize this blog. I've met people who shun or even completely disapprove of blogging for cash and to them I say… well, hell, they probably stopped reading this blog the minute I added Google Ads. My view of blogs has changed dramatically over …
Happy Halloween
Well, not much in the way of Halloween here in China, but that doesn't mean I can't get in the spirit. I'm considering buying one of the pumpkin-esque squashes at my local market and seeing if I couldn't put the knife to it creatively… they're a bit small, and I've no idea that their insides even remotely resemble the scoop-outable guts of a good jack-o-lantern… but there's hope. I am curious what my neighbours would do if I put a bedsheet over my head, cut out two little eyes and begged them to put candy in my pillow case.
Here's a little Hallowing grooviness my buddy Justin was kind enough to share with me, and me with you:

A man was walking home alone late one foggy night,
when behind him he hears:
BUMP…
BUMP…
BUMP…
Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.
BUMP…
BUMP…
BUMP…
Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him
FASTER…
Professional Translators Needed
Though my Chinese abilities are no where near "there yet", I thought this link might be cool for some of you that best my monolinguality. If you've considered breaking into the translation service industry or have been looking for a translator job, check out Translation Services. At the site, aspiring translators can create a profile, …
Can it! Y’er All Spam and Me As Well!
Sorry for any that commented on recent posts and saw their well thought-out and insightful mind-manifestations disappear into the Ethernet… Apparently my comments' spam blocker program, which usually does a fine job of discerning you all from the pack of mystery-meat dealin' robots, went on a bender the other day and just became a drunkin' …
Laowai Gives Free Driver’s Ed.
I don't know how many times I've watched absolutely retarded things go down in China and said to myself, "I really should kick that guy in the teeth for cutting off that old women shuffling across the street" or "I should have just let that bitch on the bike hit me, instead of jumping out …
King of Late Night
If there was any doubt as to who is the king of late night talk shows… Craig removes it with a bat.
We’ve Got A Blogspot Down!
An in-China Internet user’s relationship with the Chinese powers that be is a precarious one at best. Really, using the Internet here is a bit like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet. You go one week and they’ve got that great seafood salad, but when you return the following week, the salad’s gone… oh! But they’ve …
